I'd consider grabbing the helmet myself, but I think it would be a little loose on me. Some of the other armor items look like very good deals too.
Sir Wolf:
just buy it already
Lord Dane:
It's pretty just can't get into a pigface bascinet. Something about the snout.
B. Patricius:
I have a question for those that would know better from experience.
Where should the ends of the plates sit? For example, the knees for sale:
are "16ga mild steel 5.5" across the knee, 8.5" from center of knee to top of demi-cuisse, 8.5" from center of knee to bottom of demi-greave."
that all seems a bit small to me? and I'm not exactly a tall guy. From the center of the knee to the top of the cuisse at that length I still have about 4.5" to my hip bone joint and about 2.5" left to my inseam... is that a good thing for movement? or is that a bit too much room? :D
it's about the same with the arms as well.
I have no idea about plate to be honest. But for that price and the protection they'd afford, I'm definitely thinking about them :D
This weekend I'm picking up a helm, spaulders, and an aluminum hauberk for a deal from my Knight Instructor so that's about all I'll need left :D
and Lord Dane, totally get your perspective about the pigface bascinet... although, taking the face-plate off, it'd make a nice Irish bascinet ;)
beautiful equipment regardless
Lord Dane:
For those polyens, mid-thigh to mid-shin I would imagine for proper fit & placement. I would prefer an open-face barbute, Great helm with bascinet underneath (no face plate) or one with a grill for a 14th century look. I can't be sold on the pig-face.. maybe the hound skull.
